Technical View: Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities

Nifty continues to consolidate in the narrow range as the benchmark index has failed to give any directional movement. Sideways pattern may continue as long as Nifty stays within a tight band of 15800 and 16000 on a closing basis. A decisive breakout on either side may induce a decent move in the direction of the breakout.

Between December 2020 and February 2021, traders were supposed to maintain at least 25 per cent of the peak margin

Market view: S Ranganathan, Head of Research at LKP Securities

Autos & Banks helped Benchmark Indices stay in the green today as rising inflation and its impact on discretionary spending kept investors worried. The broader markets witnessed keen interest in companies likely to post good numbers during the first quarter of the current fiscal. Diagnostic & Pathology firms witnessed profit taking ahead of their Q4 earnings on the back of high competitive intensity.

Market view: Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

Continued selling by FIIs as they chase high yield US bonds restricts the Indian market to hold on to its pull-back rally, despite interest from the domestic investors. Weakness in global equities along with the unfavourable global cues led to heavy selling towards the closing hours, as the investors lacked confidence to take forward their positions. The investors are currently on a risk deleveraging phase, hunting for safe-haven investments.
